Thanks for the help guys. I am indeed just calling on the file once then playing it over and over. I will look in to what you've mentioned and get back to you later.

Thanks again,

Hello,
   I am quite new to audio programming with java and was recently trying to create a metronome in java and ran into problems with the sound playback from Clip having a lot of latency and being unreliable. It worked fine at about 100 bpm but once I started pushing 120 it started dropping beats. The program runs fine and in time without the audio playback and just a flashing dot, but as soon as I add the sound it starts slowing down. I just wanted to ask if anyone had any recommendations for either a way to reliably play a repeated sound within the standard java API or if there was another thing I should try using that would work better.
   Thanks,

No, I just compiled the single file and threw it in a jar then compressed it. Like I said, this works on the java4k site, but not my own.

This is a pretty good example using a JPanel:

Basically, you just do most of the coding in the JPanel, then all the JFrame does is put it on the screen.

It is a class not found exception:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: N.class

I also tried removing the .class, no difference. I find this very strange though, because on the java4k site, the exact same file works fine. I might end up just uploading an uncompressed jar, but I still find it odd that this is happening.

So, I recently packed my Java4k game to a size that would make it qualify. I then found that on my website, the applets gives people errors which open up with a dialogue box which displays the class name. When you press details, you end up with a window which shows the plugin version, the JRE version, home directory, some commands, and then "Detected from bootclasspath: "<insertpathhere>\\jre\\lib\\deploy.jar". I am using the following applet code:


Now, I don't know if this is some rookie mistake or what, but any insight is much appreciated. Also, the applet seems to work fine on the computer I developed the game with, but on any other computer it gets the error.

Thanks,
Thimbletack
